I bought one of the IBM Jrs in 1984. It was the first computer that I personally owned and for $1,000, IIRC, it was a bargain with a 14" color monitor. And yes, for that price it didn't have a hard drive, and was not expandable or customizable, but it ran Flight Simulator and Lotus 123 very well off 5 1/4" floppies thank you very much.
In those heady years, after coming off of Apple IIs, it was a joy and wonder to say "I have an IBM computer in my home!".
How big was the support Ark that contained all the food that the dinosaurs, elephants, hippos, alligators, lions, polar bears and kitty cats required for 40 days?
Saying God made them diet is cheating!

Phillip W. Katz, better known as Phil Katz (November 3, 1962-April 14, 2000), was a computer programmer best-known as the author of PKZIP, a program for compressing files which ran under the PC operating system DOS.
I viewed the Netflix settlement as moral dilemma. I typically despise class-action lawsuits as I view them as an extortion by attorneys gaming the systems and plantiffs hoping for an easy payday, but I also try to minimize my living expenses so as to expand my standard of living.
In the end I took the moral high-ground and declined the settlement. Another blow against "The Man."

I suggest the free iPod giveaway be combined with a tax on iPods sold on eBay by Michigan residents! A win-win situation!

Didn't Microsoft invent the one finger salute?
There are plenty of jobs at CompUSA! They should just move on over to th... oh, wait.
Uh, people don't destroy customers lives or get arrested for working at CC, so it's a brainer after all.

Unless you have HBO and were a good squirrel and watched it last week.
That would be Google. Wonder if I can get them away from their lattes' long enough to update it?

You should switch to White. It has better karma.
